No its wired,connected to the router with a network cable and so is the NextPVR server,so its not that,if you look at the play button on the screen you can see it showing the play then pause icons as its doing it,so its playing then pausing to buffer then playing again and so on,what stops it too is if you pause it for 10 seconds but it can be hard to pause it cos it don't let you.

Basically the words "Android", "TV Box" are meaningless since they don't mean you have a capable box. Even Kodi 16.1 is vague because of hacks some vendors put out with their firmware. For trouble shooting I'd start by installing SPMC and seeing if it helps.

Also do recordings play better? If not make sure you play with any advanced options you have to turn on h/w video decoding in the settings.

If you are still monitoring this thread, when you switch to a channel, pause it for 2-3 seconds, then allow it to play. If it works without buffering all the time following this you will need to add a config to your advancedsettings.xml to allow more caching. I had the same problem with Android using 16.1. I have since moved to Kodio 17 which fixes the buffering issues, but deinterlacing looks like a giant toilet full poop. See the following links to give you an idea what to change.
This shows you the structure of the advancedsettings and how it pertains to PVR - http://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#pvr
This post explains the settings a bit more in detail - http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?...031#pid1366031
The settings you are concerned about are these 2.
<minvideocachelevel>5</minvideocachelevel>
<minaudiocachelevel>10</minaudiocachelevel>

I would double both values, reboot Kodi and try again. If that solves the problem, work your way backwards until you find that happy place. The larger the buffer the less likely you are to see the "buffering", but the long it will take the channel to "tune" between channel changes. I think I settled somewhere around 7 video and 12 audio......but I can't remember. Good luck

If the poop you are seeing is on a channel change in Android that is a know Kodi bug, Kodi doesn't turn on h/w decoding after the change you need to stop and restart. I posted a link to a non supported apk somewhere here.
